Bangladesh event will focus on raw material issues in
the Indian subcontinent’s steel industry.
The India-based Steel Mint Group is preparing for its
second Coal, Steel and Raw Material Conference: Emerging Bangladesh, which will
take place 14-15 November 2016 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, at the Hotel Radisson
Blue.
Namrata Diwaker, group brand manager with the
SteelMint Group, says the first edition of the Coal, Steel and Raw Material
Conference: Emerging Bangladesh drew some 170 participants from more than 110 different
companies.
Topics scheduled to be discussed at the November 2016
event include the growing ship recycling sector in Bangladesh.
“Bangladesh is among the top nations where ship
dismantling happens over a large scale,” says Diwaker.
“The nation dismantled around 270 ships in 2012, 210
ships in 2013, 223 ships in 2014 and around 200 ships in 2015,” she adds.
Diwaker says that activity yielded some 7.86 million
tonnes of ferrous scrap in 2014 and about 4.73 million tonnes in 2015.
According to SteelMint, “Bangladesh continues to be
one of Asia’s most emerging markets in the steel, cement and power sectors,
with a growing need for technologies and raw materials such as coal, billet,
scrap, hot briquetted iron, pig iron and hot-rolled coil steel.”
Adds the firm, “The two-day international ConfEx
(conference cum exhibition) will be attended by major raw material and
technology suppliers from all over the world with an objective to network with
steel, cement and power producers and traders in Bangladesh.”
